Feeding

Still breastfeeding - used formula after to fill her up/get us to sleep. So far so good. Will also pump when I can during the day to keep supply up. She just takes to a bottle much more quickly/easily.

Ok

Spoke too soon. She bfed for 15 minutes, would only take .5 ozs of formula, struggled a bit to fill a diaper and wants food again. Is lazily taking the bottle (pacifier wouldn't do it).

She's demanding to get my supply up. Not sure how to do both. If I just do formula at night (filling for longer) I'd need to also pump or I'd wake up engorged and my production would drop off. This is why I gave her the breast when she woke up after her first night feeding (we slept for 3 hours with her in the bed - one thing at a time, get sleep and then worry about where). Then she my milk and the .5 ozs formula. Did the diaper thing and another .5 ozs formula.

So confused. :/

I know I'm not generating enough for her due to lack of rest, good food and adequate water. Can't manage the latter 2 due to the first 1.

Ok, 2

Looking at my log, I did get 2 chunks of 3ish hours of sleep. I'm rocking her now to try and get her to go down for another.
